Super Easy Baby Food Cookbook: Healthy Homemade Recipes for Every Age and Stage

I purchased this book four years ago when starting solids with my first baby, and it was hands-down the best resource I found. The recipes are incredibly easy, nutritious, and genuinely delicious. As a first-time mom juggling so much, this book gave me a huge boost of confidence and made homemade baby food feel simple and manageable. I’m now revisiting it for my second child who is starting solids, and it’s just as amazing the second time around. I bought several baby food puree books back then, and this one easily stood above the rest. What I love most is how practical and thoughtful it is. The meal plans and sample menus are so helpful, and the mix-and-match frozen cube ideas are genius for creating quick little meals. It makes feeding your baby healthy food feel easy and enjoyable. Watching my baby happily eat food I made with the help of this book truly warms my heart. Every parent starting solids should have this one!

I have told so many people about this recipe book! With both of my children, we have been all about making whole food recipes at home for them, but with my second child I was un-inspired and was not feeling very creative when it came to mixing it up. I told my husband I was going to get a cookbook to get some ideas and it was all I needed to be inspired! Not only was this good for baby purees (which we only used for a limited time), but the meals for 9-12 months and bigger kids have been loved by our whole family - which is how I deem whether a meal I make is successful and will make again! We will never buy packaged Chicken Noodle soup from the store again, the Chicken Noodle soup recipe is so easy and tastes great (my husband especially loves it.) The French Toast Bread Pudding is a staple for us on the weekends! And I absolutely love the Rotini with Beef and Pumpkin Bolognese! I sometimes make it with Ground Chicken and tell my husband almost every time I eat it that I don't need to eat any tomato-based sauces anymore! I love the pumpkin and getting some vegetables at the same time...always a plus. I highly recommend this book!

We wanted a way to help our daughter as she is a single mom with her own house and job to take care of. I got this book and immediately was able to start making the food. I ordered several silicone ice cube trays. After the baby food has been puréed and cooked, I fill up the trays and freeze them. They then get put into freezer bags. It’s really really easy to make and really easy to store. About twice a month, I spend a couple hours making the recipes from this book and my daughter has access to convenient and healthy baby food for her son all month long. And the food from these recipes stay good for up to six months in the freezer. Win Win!

This book has been really helpful in making our little one enjoy healthy foods!! The combination of foods has been really helpful for her to figure out what she likes and does not like. She has eaten most of what was presented from this book. We tweek things here and there, but for the most part, these recipes are really tasty!! I often make things to take to work!!

Easy to read, no fuss book, with easy recipes that you can get started on with ingredients and equipment you already have on your fridge. I needed some ideas for my infant’s first foods and wanted to have it all accessible in one place. The book is broken down by age stage which is so helpful. Already made 2 purée batches and looking forward to making other flavors. I enjoyed making homemade food for my son.

Best baby food book ever! The recipes are simple, and not simple in flavor! Which is a good thing! Due to this pandemic, I had all of the babyfood that I needed in my online cart for my 6mo old. That alone was $74.89!! And it would probably last a week or two and it was all jarred food, nothing fresh. That's when I said I could make it for less then that! So I started the hunt for a cookbook. I read some that only talked about organic, which wasn't going to happen over here on all foods. Some that had recipes I wouldn't eat. I gave this one a try thru my Kindle unlimited trial, and that's when I knew I had to buy it. I spent $75 after copying down everything I needed for the 6-8 recipes and I have food for alot longer and way fresher! Frozen vegetables are just as good as fresh! So happy with this book and my baby is loving all of the new flavor combinations and seasoning! No blad babyfood over here!!!

I love this book! It really is simple. Other books that I tried were not as simple. I would recommend this book to anyone looking to make their own baby food! It even gives suggestions for as kids start to eat finger foods.

Made a bunch of food for my baby, he loves it and made it very simple

Great

Great and easy recipes that you can cook in bulk and store in the freezer so there are always home made ready meals for the bub. However, the book doesn't focus on iron rich foods which are vital for babies at the start of the solids journey.

This book does not have very useful recipes for Indian babies and their palettes. It may be better to look for another book.

Some good recipes in here

Yes it's simple. It's also baby food. You shouldn't expect it to be a culinary revolution.. also it says super easy in title. It is a great resource for basics for baby food, especially as a first time mom. It is exactly what I wanted. Recipes for Purees and combinations. as well as some recipes for later. I definitely recommend it. I feel like everyone surprised at how simple the recipes are needs to reread the title and get realistic ideas about what babies eat.
